Firstly I appreciate your comments and time you take. I don't get angry at people who have real life shit to take care of, it is always the most important thing.
Secondly, the vast majority of your post was on why Lom was banned, no one is really arguing he shouldn't have been banned. The entire situation surrounding the process of implementing it is the issue. Thats where I among many others want more info on. What EXACTLY happened, because it doesn't feel like we are getting the full story. Call it a conspiracy all you want, but I truly feel still Blac brought up the ban to bring Flo back. We have Nents showing chat excerpts clearing showing that Blac purposely misled him on the initial day of the ban, and Flo returning out of the blue the same exact day only to depart not when it seems that the ban was changed to a month but rather when some of the community began questioning the entire situation. They both resigned, presumably over Lom, so be honest with us. Blac brought up an old ass ban that was never implemented weeks after the community as a whole moved on (Noting from what I understand Lom was attempting to break the chat filter with other people namely Nents and Hadash) just to cause the community to splintered yet again.
If we have a moderation team so intent on enforcing our rules why did they wait? Yeah I know real life and shit happens, but still did the moderation team not realize that just bringing an old ban /seemingly/ out of the blue would not help the community? I'm sorry to say it but y'all have poisoned my time here. It seems that the moderation team has taken Lom personally (whether that is right or not is another interpretation), personally to a point to ignore the standards this community has. Okay so we just implemented rules and punishments with the expectation that someone would never break them? Okay that means, issue this ban under the rules it was broken under and then talk to the community about adjusting them. Justice should never be retrospective. Just as there should be a right to a speedy trial, I'm pretty sure we should have a right to a speedy implementation of punishment. Imho the moderation team forfeited its right to ban Lom by waiting so long. There WAS nothing in the community guidelines that said y'all can just implement new ban lengths.
I think there was miscommunication, ulterior motives, and unfortunately close mindedness FROM EVERYONE. At the time maybe Lom did deserve a ban but was the intent to be malicious from what I understand no, but then again we never got chat logs for the incident which prompted his ban.
For the incidents y'all cited I think two of them really didn't break the rules as the rules stand now. If someone takes offense, okay but honestly it seems like that most of this shit is aimed at Lom for having differing albeit sometimes overbearing political views. I'm pretty sure that Lom accounts for like 5% of the total usage of the word snowflake on the discord server unless shit gets removed by admins instead of left up for record keeping purposes.
I want to know everything, every chat, every private message y'all have had over this ban. I want the total clear and concise truth and I will not stop until I am satisfied that I have examined every avenue.
